Commercial/Residential Moving

Not many things are more exciting than moving into a new home. At Flat Rate, Inc. it is our goal to move you without damaging your home or possessions. We cover the entrance foyer, remove doors as needed, and pad any banister railings before loading and unloading. Here are some moving advise to ensure an efficient and smoove move.

 

AT THE NEW HOME
  • Have someone there to tell us where you want the furniture placed
  • Be sure the driveways, sidewalks, and porches are clear of mud, debris, leaves, etc. to avoid tracking these into the home
  • Do not schedule any cleaning, painting, carpentry, or installations for moving day. We will only get in each other's way and risk damaging your home or furniture
  • Please do not lay plastic on floors. This is dangerous and will have to be removed. But you can use the kind of clear plastic that has one sticky side
  • Please do not cover stairs in the home unless you use the sticky plastic
  • If you move items yourself, stack them out of the way so we can place the furniture and boxes where they need to go
  • We cannot transport fuel, gas, paint, propane or other flammable materials
  • We cannot go up "pull-down" stairs to remove or place items in an attic. We can help you do this if previous arrangements have been made
 
FURNITURE
  • All furniture surfaces should be cleared off
  • All beds should be void of linens
  • Water bed mattresses must be completely drained
  • Dresser drawers do not need to be emptied; however, all fragile items within them must be packed
  • All furniture with doors must be emptied
  • We will take apart beds and remove mirrors from dressers

 

APPLIANCES
  • Empty the refrigerator and freezer on the day of the move. Be sure to have extra boxes or coolers to do this
  • If the ice maker cut-off is under the house, please have it disconnected prior to moving day. We will not crawl under houses to disconnect. Note: We can not hook up ice makers
  • We do not disconnect or reconnect washers and dryers
  • We cannot disconnect or reconnect any gas appliances. Please call your gas company for this service
